Darkmoon Dominator within 1 week

Have just completed that achievement on my Босс/Blackscar within 1 Faire (except the first trinket which I got on the last day of the previous one) I decided to post this little guide in order to help those few of us who actually take their time to read.

Here are the main things you have to know before attempting:

25 min before:

Have a raid. Easily obtainable by spamming in the city /4 or darkmoon faire /1 20 minutes before the event. My macro was "Gathering raid for the CHEST of DARKMOON - achievement and trinket inside" you may consider a better one as lots of wisps asking to link the trinket and so on were coming. Your raid size should be adequate and gathered properly. Consider the time everyone plays on your server. Alerting everyone in /4 may be not worth it. You generaly want to dominate the arena completely, but have as less competitors as possible. (Even though if they don’t read this guide to the end they won't likely matter). Also do invite all 85 near the arena and darkmoon faire /1 - they may be fast enough to ruin your day by breaking your cast, which will most likely result in someone else from your raid opening the chest.

The speed increase. Prepair Rocket boots. The speed increase is much, much more drastic than that from any other Boots/ Trinketsor Hares/Potions / Nitro Boosts/Sprint or Dash(both need to be confirmed to not stack)/ Aspect (needs to be confirmed to not stack) - a 300% increase for 2.5 seconds versus a maximum of 150% increase for 5. You also can use some of your class abilities (Blink or Teleport .

The shrinking effect. Do have stacked Noggenfogger Elexir I used around 6 stacks for the whole process. You obviously need the shrinking effect- so that you are harder to target and less likely to be hit by AOE. Pygmy Oil does stack with Noggenfogger - but drink the Noggenfoggers and get the "small" buff first, since if you drink Pygmy Oils first, Noggenfogger might replace your "Pygmy costume" with the skeleton form.

You also may consider using Oil of Immolation or Free Action Potion (not confirmed) to further improve your chances, but I never waste time for it as those miliseconds when clicking the chest seem to be far too precious. However Light of EluneDOES NOT WORK and has been confirmed to prevent you from opening the chest.

5 min before

Autoloot ON is a must. Note you will still need to confirm that you want to take the trinket once you open the chest. If you get cc say bb to the trinket.

5 empty space in your bag is how much you need. That super-fast-delete-the-first-thing-you-click did happen to me once. All the junk is dropped into your inventory without the confirmation box. You may also consider having someone mass throwing Heavy Leather Ball or similar items to your competitors (preferably for both Horde and Allience, depending on how bad you want this achievement. They will run out of space in the bags preventing them from actually looting the trinket and potentially having their cast stopped. You will still need someone (or your pet/totem/buff) to break their cast before you complete yours as otherwise the dialog "Already in use" will appear.

Full buff yourself just in case. Wearing resilience and/or resistance gear, Healthstone, Soulstone is advised. Getting Saige's Dark fortune of Resistance just nearby (the combination is 1st answer-> 2nd answer) may resist you a fear or an enemy dot if they are not wearing enough spell penetration gear.

Do watch out when people put Direbrew's Remote this may tp you out unless you immediately kick the person who placed it out of the raid.(in a hurry near the chest you may click the wrong place but this one is up to you) I used Nark addon for this purpose. Having someone with it on the competing team or another fraction's raid may prove useful though.

THE moment:

Time the moment you enter the arena. It is 6.5 seconds after the red message appears in /1 chat.

Korgol Crushskull yells: Attention, fairegoers! The Darkmoon Deathmatch is about to begin! In mere moments the prize chest will appear at the center of the arena.

I was counting till 6.5 seconds and clicked the entrance. Ported in right after everyone gets ported out at the beginning. You may make a timer or find an addon depending on the competition. You may also consider creating a char - dk preferably (red class colour) for /y the text of Korgol Crushskull (nickname like KorgolCrushskull) at the wrong moment to create some additional confusion for the people who do count like that. Yelling that we already have a winner may have a great effect too. Depending on the situation you should consider to warn your raid to leave the arena before the start to not be ported out (so that they port out inside earlier to distract you competitors) or just to say nothing (and if there is no one with the timing like yours they will enter the second you open the chest)

Position accordingly depending if you expect mass aoe (away from chest) or a single competitors -(inside the chest)I had a really annoying opposite fraction moonkin who timed well and always doted me first. This by the way can be well solved by a friendly rogue designated to stun him(if you can find one)/large bounty on "most damage done to nickname" IF I am the one who loots the trinket/pet usage ( Whiplash combined with Seduction) or just Spell lockSacrifice might prevent stopping you from opening the chest if casted before entering the arena and the summoning another pet but I was never be able to confirm it.

Have friends. Do watch out for friendly PaladinPriestWarlock - most of them don't know/don't do but they can prevent you from looting the chest with Hand of Protection Leap of Faith or Teleport. Have a friendly/alt Paladin cast Hand of Protection 15 seconds before the start of the event to gain Forbearance effect to prevent any painful surprises. Having friends in your raid using this spells to help you might give you an edge, but I do not advice it as getting the achievement without those tricks is completely possible. Better use those friends to cc people who are entering arena and not in your raid - they may be fast enough to break your cast. Or have your freiends leave your raid and carefully cc people from your raid.

********** PLEASE RATE THIS GUIDE (5 stars on the right) **********If you put less then 5 please make suggestions on improvement of the guide, this will be highly appreciated.

Suggestions for improvement and other comments are also welcome. Also would be nice if someone put the full correct text for Korgol Crushskull when entering the arena and winning as I do not use the english client and was unable to find the full text.Special thanks to Даркшиз/Blackscar for the idea of using a friendly paladin to gain forbearance.Thanks khimaira for the tip about the Pygmy Oil.This is what size you want to be when attempting to open the chest:

Totally unrelated to this achievement, I'm amazed at this guide... It should be read and carefully studied by anyone contemplating to wage a war on Russians. They throw everyone and everything at you, friends, foes, foes of foes, foes of friends of foes, insects, pets, kitchen sink and biblical plagues. And that's just for a Pit Fighter trinket ^.^

So basically get a raid to do it ever since 6.2 have this and the Gurubashi Arena farmed like there's no tomorrow. A solo player doesn't stand a chance of ever getting that chest, let alone 12 of the required item to get the heirloom trinket.

As a side note I never understood the logic behind time gating heirlooms (which are made to help level alts - not improve your main) to fishing contests and arena matches. It makes for a VERY frustrating experience, and have made me wonder why I keep playing more than once.

Is there a TL:DR version of this, as I am slightly confused.If you call on general chat to form a raid, aren't they all going to try for it too?

Are you forming a raid, to take advantage of each and every one of them, so you can secretly loot the chest while tiny & shrunk?
